Inis Oírr (Inisheer)

Inis Oírr is the smallest of the three Aran Islands (1,400 acres) and is an outdrop of the famous Burren Landscape in Co Clare. Having an abundance of flora, fauna and nesting birds, it is a haven for botanists and nature lovers. The everyday language of the islanders is Irish and their stories and songs enshrine much of Ireland’s folklore and ancient culture. Inis Oirr is home to about 300 islanders. It is possible to travel to the island by ferry from Doolin or Ros a Mhil.
